    摘要: A vehicle operation detection device includes processing circuitry configured to output a command causing an opening-closing body of a vehicle to open and close in reference to capacitances of sensor electrodes arranged so as to form a row. The processing circuitry is configured to determine that a first operation has been performed when one of the sensor electrodes of which the capacitance increases is sequentially shifted in a first direction from an operation start electrode and determine that a second operation has been performed when the shifting is performed in a second direction. The sensor electrodes include an adjacent electrode adjacent to the operation start electrode. The processing circuitry is configured to determine that the capacitance of the adjacent electrode has increased when the capacitance becomes greater than or equal to a second determination value that is greater than a first determination value.

    摘要: A vehicle door control system includes a door, holding part, and controller. The door is capable of opening and closing by a motion of swinging relative to a vehicle body. The holding part is capable of switching between an openable-and-closable state and a holding state. The openable-and-closable state is a state in which movement of the door in an opening direction that opens the door and movement of the door in a closing direction that closes the door are allowed. The holding state is a state in which movement of the door in the opening direction is prohibited and movement of the door in the closing direction is allowed. The controller is configured to control the holding part. The controller is configured to set the holding part to the holding state in response to the door stopping its movement while the door is open.

    摘要: A door opening and closing assisting apparatus that assists an opening and closing operation of a door on a vehicle is provided. The door opening and closing assisting apparatus includes: an information obtainer that obtains information on an opening and closing acceleration of the door; a door actuator that performs driving for assisting the opening and closing operation of the door; a target assisting power computer that computes a target assisting power for assisting the opening and closing operation of the door; and a controller that performs driving control for the door actuator based on the target assisting power. The controller starts the driving control for the door actuator at a timing at which the information obtainer obtains the opening and closing acceleration of the door.

    摘要: A power door device includes: a motor actuator to open/close a vehicle door; a controller to control driving of the motor actuator and include an abnormal state dealing unit; an information unit to acquire information about a vertical vehicle acceleration, and a motor load for the motor actuator; and a diagnostic unit to generate an abnormal signal when the motor load exceeds a predetermined load threshold and when the vertical acceleration does not exceed an predetermined acceleration threshold. When the motor load exceeds the load threshold and the vertical vehicle acceleration does not exceed a predetermined acceleration threshold, the diagnostic unit diagnoses an abnormality generates the abnormal signal. The abnormal state dealing unit performs the abnormal dealing control including stop movement during the door opening/closing in response to the abnormal signal.

    摘要: A manipulation detecting device for a vehicle includes a sensor electrode that is configured to have a capacitance that increases as a detection target approaches the sensor electrode and circuitry that is configured to selectively open and close an opening-closing body of a vehicle by controlling an actuator. A first determination value is used to determine proximity of the detection target to the sensor electrode. The circuitry is configured to selectively open and close the opening-closing body when the opening-closing body is in a stopped state and the capacitance of the sensor electrode is greater than or equal to the first proximity determination value and smaller than a second proximity determination value, which is greater than the first proximity determination value.

    摘要: A door device includes: a door swingable relative to a vehicle body; an actuator configured to drive the door to open and close; a controller configured to perform drive control on the actuator; and a door open/close detector configured to detect an opening/closing speed of the door, wherein the controller is configured to: determine whether an opening/closing action to be performed on the door is a manual action, in which the door is to be manually opened or closed by a user, or an automatic action, in which the door is to be automatically opened or closed by the actuator; and while the manual action is being performed, learn the opening/closing speed detected by the door open/close detector to generate learned value data including information on the opening/closing speed and to reflect the learned value data to the drive control on the actuator while the automatic action is being performed.

    摘要: A door opening and closing assisting apparatus includes: an information obtainer that obtains information on an opening and closing velocity of a door on a vehicle; a door actuator that performs driving for assisting the opening and closing operation of the door; a target assisting power computer that computes a target assisting power for assisting the opening and closing operation of the door; and a controller that performs driving control for the door actuator based on the target assisting power. The target assisting power computer calculates, based on the opening and closing velocity of the door obtained by the information obtainer, a standard assisting power which is assisting power required to maintain the opening and closing velocity, makes a correction by decreasing the calculated standard assisting power according to a predetermined rule, and sets the standard assisting power after the decrease correction as the target assisting power.

    摘要: An input operation detector includes an operation detection electrode configured to detect an input operation from a capacitance change resulting from an approaching detection subject and a wetting detection electrode arranged next to the operation detection electrode. Water from an outer surface of a vehicle, when the vehicle is wet, collects at a location referred to as a water collection portion, and the wetting detection electrode is closer to the water collection portion than the operation detection electrode. If the water collection portion does not include water, the operation detection electrode has a greater capacitance change sensitivity than the wetting detection electrode to the approach of the detection subject. If the water collection portion includes water, the wetting detection electrode has a greater capacitance change sensitivity than the operation detection electrode to the water in the water collection portion.
